The way I like to define fact:
A fact is true whether one believes it or not, whether one likes
it or not, whether one knows about it or not. Something that is
true is verifiable and repeatable. It is not relative or a
matter of opinion or viewpoints. Fact and truth don't take
sides. See Evidence that Requires a Verdict.
As great as opinions and viewpoints are, they can't fix a
computer that won't boot, won't connect, won't ... Facts will.
Properly used, facts will build up, draw together, and enhance
stuff, people and society.

FACT: Well known truth; anything a liberal doesn't
want to hear or that may cut a social program budget
example: taxpayer funded flower planting, Martin Luther
King Jr. festivities north of the Mason-Dixon Line, Federal
funding for empty city bus lines.
